The arming-up of the likely targets of a Trump regime seems logical and justified to me. And I say that as a gun owner who has been an open proponent of gun control for decades. Trump's national victory tour is already drawing apt comparisons to Hitler's Nuremburg rallies; his base is filled with violent types, intent on harming members of various minority groups. We're damned fools if we don't prepare for the worst, because it's pretty obvious that the worst is upon us, big-time.
